I have had so many bad…read moreexperiences, it left me so stressed, plus I deal with claustrophobia, and so going to the dentist was a chore for me. I can't say enough for the professionalism, kindness, and taking the time to explain and understand what is being done. The billing dept, the scheduling, the hygienist, especially the dental assistant all helped make it such a good experience. Dr. Hanson is such a kind, and professional man and it was so comforting to be in such good hands. I was so appreciative of everyone and their going above the typical service you get other places. I recommend them to anyone having the same past experiences I have had. Nancy H., Independence, MO.

He is fast, gentle, thorough, and knowledgeable, and Shelby is friendly and professional. I had an extraction and two implants, and the next day there was no pain at all, just a tiny bit of soreness in my jaw. He previously replaced a broken filling, and did a great job in no time at all.

Please see the LENGTHY review I posted on Google…read more I wish I could copy and paste it, because I detail the exhorbitante billing practices employed by this "care giver". Changing her prescribed dental procedure, and announcing "We're going to do partial, rather than a crown!" indicated she does not have a clear vision of "best practices". At one point, while preparing a tooth for a crown, I experienced a tangible SHOCK emitting from my tooth and down into my leg. OBVIOUSLY striking a nerve in the tooth, she proclaimed that the tooth was absent a nerve - she proclaimed that the tooth had undergone a root canal. After POKING THE NERVE AGAIN, and my visceral reaction, she wisely (???) determined I needed to see an endodontist. I am GRATEFUL to have found a more compassionate and competent dentist than Dr. Nikki Christian. They ARE OUT THERE! #btw her practice encourages patients to post POSITIVE reviews on Google and rewards patients monetarily. Not very ethical in my estimation.

This is my first visit at Dental Arts. I must say it was very pleasurable and I didn't have much…read moreanxiety. I've never been to a dentist where they offer "free" laughing gas to calm your nerves and any anxiety. I needed it. My first impression was years ago by Dr. Kirk at a charity event I was volunteering at Bartel Hall. His staff offered free dental service to the community. After so many years later, I gave them a call to try it for myself. Lesley (receptionist) was very helpful and patient while scheduling my appointment. The appointment was two months after I scheduled (they are booked). As I walked in, I was greeted by Lesley. She's very friendly and cheerful - at 7:00am. My dental hygienist was Mariah. She was very thorough, in explaining everything she was going to do. She also made me feel very comfortable throughout the visit. After the x-rays, cleaning, and going over everything, Dr. Clark came in to take a look. Again, another very nice person that made my visit a delight. If anyone knows me, I hate the dentist. I can honestly say, I look forward to returning. I left there without my mouth feeling like it has been scratched up and I can close my mouth without my gums and teeth feeling sensitive. Try them for yourself...you'll be glad you did.
